March Surgery Dates

I've seen topics where members having surgery in the same month have kinda banded together to offer support and encouragement to one another. I think this is a wonderful idea, and I'd like to see if there's anyone having surgery in March that would like to support one another.

I have a tentative date for the second or third week in March. I have UHC through Georgia Pacific and they use BRS for approvals. I don't expect any delays, nor does my surgeon's office, so she saved me a spot, so to speak, lol.

Tonight I have my psyc eval, and Monday is my information class, I have two more visits, 2/5 and 3/5 of my six month supervised diet, and on March 5th when I leave my PCP's office, I'll take my worksheet to the surgeon and we'll submit to insurance. That's where I'm at!

I'd love to talk with others that are looking at the same time frame as me!! :D

Add me to the March list - my surgery is tomorrow, 3-11-13. Excited & Nervous at the same time, even though I shouldn't be, as I've been through this before (Lap Band 8/2009, taken out on 3/20012, now going to a RNY).

Keep me in your thoughts & prayers please, as prayers do work!

More than likely you just have to keep fingers clear. Although i wore clear and everything was fine.

Ever had so many emotions about surgery that all you can do is cry? Like I'm happy, nervous, excited. All I want to do is cry lol. I have been cleaning and trying to keep busy and get everything together before surgery next week.

Yes! I'm almost a week post op and still having those feelings. I know its the pains and the thought of not eating my favorite foods which see to come on tv every other commercial. But having faith in the decision i made in January was the one that would set me up for a better more healthy life.

Congratulations!!! It's about time it was your turn :)

Well surgery in 2 days... Got some sort of bug yesterday. Woke up yesterday to a fever, body ache and bad diarrhea. Feeling better today, fever and body aches gone! Hopefully I will be 100% by tomorrow!!! I really don't want to have to reschedule my surgery!
